for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 4, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Salim Bhabhrawala or Eugene Degnan, 
AD/CVD Operations, Office 8, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

Background

    On July 28, 2004, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of the 
antidumping duty administrative review of tapered roller bearings and 
parts, thereof, finished or unfinished from the People's Republic of 
China for the period June 1, 2003, through May 31, 2004. See Initiation 
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and 
Request for Revocation in Part, 69 FR 45010 (July 28, 2004). The 
preliminary results of review are currently due no later than March 2, 
2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), states that, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time specified, the administering authority may extend the 
245-day period to issue its preliminary results by up to 120 days. 
Completion of the preliminary results of this review within the 245-day 
period is not practicable because the Department needs additional time 
to analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to each 
company's sales practices, factors of production, corporate 
relationships, and to review responses to supplemental questionnaires.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the preliminary results of review by 60 days until May 1, 2005, 
in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final results 
continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results of review.

    Dated: January 28, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
